He is known for his “Yumeji-shiki bijin” (Yumeji-style beauties), graceful women with slender figures and melancholy expressions. Without formal training under a specific master, he developed a self-taught style that gained wide popularity and bridged fine art and commercial illustration. This lithograph is a later edition, as indicated by the numbering “206/250”. Additional Notes Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the item description.
